Prince Kinky Curly Hair in Natural Afro Hairstyle

Prince rocked an Afro hairstyle for his natural curly kinky hair at the Billboard Music Awards this last May. Check out the pictures of Prince’s Afro hairstyle and how he has embraced those curls of his with this new hairstyle!

If there is one thing we all know of Prince (born June 7, 1958 aka Prince Rogers Nelson) is that he likes his hair, and not just any type of hair; Prince likes his hair straight or, at the max, wavy hair. While I’m not a Prince devotee myself (or a fan, for that matter) I have seen pictures of Prince through much of his career and seen how he has preferred to use a relaxer for his kinky hair or simply preferred to grab a wig to put on for his show; never have I seen Prince with his natural hair, but now it is time to scratch that out.

This past May at the Billboard Music Awards 2013, Prince turned up with a very cool natural Afro hairstyle for his natural kinky hair (i.e. Type V curly hair). This came as quite a surprise as, prior to that, Prince had never really shown his natural hair; perhaps Prince read Manly Curls and said, “screw the wigs and the relaxers, I’m going to wear my curls natural”. Who knows; though the reality is that Prince wore his kinky hair like a boss in a shapely Afro and it looks as Prince has finally embraced his curly hair and that Afro is certainly here to stay!

Prince, y u no have natural hair?

Alright, enough of the relaxers, hair straighteners, straight-haired wigs and all of that. Ladies and gentlemen, we give you, Prince and his natural kinky hair styled in an Afro:

Prince reminds me of Lenny Kravitz with that Afro hairstyle and the sunglasses

Embrace that curly hair!

Even if you don’t happen to like Prince’s music, we can all learn a lesson from him, and that’s that it is never too late to embrace your curly hair and get those curls rocking. While I aim to spread the word with sites like Manly Curls and my bestselling book, The Curly Hair Book, it’s actually awesome to see curly male celebrities showing those curls of theirs and inspiring and motivating other dudes who would otherwise not be on terms with their curly hair.

Bravo, Mr. Prince!

All the best
